Whether as a planned part of a battle strategy or as an instinctual expression of adrenaline, the yell motivated the rebel soldiers and unnerved the enemy. The mighty hollers of these warriors as they met their foes in battle were the inspiration behind this insightful text. Detailed here are the origin and nature of the Rebel Yell, a piece of history largely lost to time. The text offers a substantial theory of the derivation of the yell, analyzes its variations, and assesses the few documented descriptions and recorded versions in their historical context. The book includes stories and poems featuring the yell and concludes with a list of references. Terryl W. Elliott is an author, historian, and poet whose work has appeared in various regional publications. A former purchasing consultant and business owner, he belongs to numerous Civil War, history, and writing organizations. Elliott lives in Independence, Missouri, with his wife and their dog.
